Any chance you could put in a good word for us Northern Californians? I’d like the opportunity to see them, if only at a movie theater.
You can find a theater near you by going to the link and typing in your zip code. I believe they are showing it up there as well. It’s in more than 400 theaters across the U.S. and Canada.
Thank you for the review and the head’s up about the opportunity to see the performance live in Orange County. I’m very happy we went today. I look forward to the May 13th and June performances as well.
The next performances are on MARCH 13 (Tchaikovsky) and June 5 (Brahms).
I notice the writer for the New York Times said “the decadent cinematic acoustics flattered the orchestra, which sounded terrific.” By contrast, Mark Swed complained that the dynamic range, dimensionality and clarity (instruments “not as individualized”) weren’t up to snuff for him.
I’ve been listening to recordings of, among others, a concert of the LA Philharmonic from late last year and a variety of other concerts, including one from the Chicago Symphony at Orchestra Hall, the Vienna Philharmonic at its home in Austria, the Boston Symphony at Symphony Hall, the Concertgebouw Orchestra from Amsterdam. I should add “etc, etc.” In terms of the quality of sound projected from those various locations, one stands out.
There would be no point in broadcasting concerts of the LA Phil — on TV, much less in theaters — if its performance space in downtown were less than exemplary.
Even with that as an asset (along with, of course, Gustavo Dudamel), attendance in general at yesterday’s screenings throughout the US and Canada appeared to be iffy. To cover just the basic costs of a very expensive HD/satellite event, I would guess that ticket sales have to be quite bountiful. The Los Angeles Philharmonic may need to add “nude, nude, nude!!” or “blood-soaked highway auto crash scenes!” to their experiment in broadcasting in order to grab more attention and get a better turnout.
